Carmen Basilio, Roy Orbison, Fats Domino
As a kid I was in Syracuse on their version of American Bandstand and rushing into a restaurant slipped on the snow soak entrance right into Basilio's table. He ask me to sit down to be sure I was OK and we had a nice conversation.
Roy Orbison, Fats Domino and others,,,my friend managed a night spot in Virginia Beach and I got to hang out with the entertainers. Roy Orbison was a real nice guy and had one of the most powerful voices I have had the pleasure of hearing. I don't know how Fats Domino played piano without getting tired because he had the largest sparkling rings I ever saw on a number of fingers
